Last Friday night, New York City commuters and indie-rock fans got a special treat at the height of rush hour: A pop-up performance by Seattle's Band of Horses at Vanderbilt Hall in Grand Central Station.

The AOL pop-up show was announced just one day before it went down, and tickets were first come (or first in line), first served. Ultimately, about 500 people were able to hear the band. (Though only about 250 could actually SEE the band, as a riser was placed in the middle of the room, and the people standing on it blocked the other half of the crowd, of which I was a part.)

Though it felt like I was listening to a live radio show rather than watching a performance, the band delivered a truly impressive hour-long set, filled with songs from Everything All The Time and Cease to Begin, as well as their just-released Infinite Arms.
